What Insiders Are Saying

The Infatuation

7.8

GT Fish & Oyster is ideal for those who like all the pleasures of the sea. Mandatory oysters to start.

Ratings 7.5-8.0:These are restaurants that are reliable, tasty, and particularly good for whatever we have deemed them “Perfect For.” Hit up a 7.7 for Date Night with confidence, as long as you don’t need the restaurant to be the most interesting thing that happens that night.

We almost always sit at the bar. The bartenders are very attentive, friendly, and remember you on the next visit. They give great advice on cocktail recommendations and raw oyster recommendations, too. We almost never leave without having a few staples: lobster mac and cheese, oysters, oyster po boy sliders, clam chowder. But, everything on the menu is great.

Service was so friendly and attentive! We ordered multiple sharing plates, all were very good, but some were items I wouldn’t rush back to order and the portions were small. The tuna poke was fine, not very distinctive esp for the price. Oyster poor boy was very tasty with wonderful flavor and texture although the bread was over toasted so there was a definite burnt taste. Octopus was good but not a must order. The highlight was the Thai coconut soup, would go back just for this item, it was outstanding!!! Plus I highly recommend the Brooks Pinot noir, delicious.

We were treated to a dinner here because the service and food were excellent. They went above and beyond for us and since we were celebrating my wife's birthday, our server gave her $20 gift card to come back. We will definitely be going back. Oysters and Lobster roll are amazing!

This was a special occasion for our family. It took 3 times for my order to be done correctly even though the waiter wrote specific instructions on the order ticket. Food was ok - certainly not for a special lunch.

Our server was excellent (did a great job dealing with some weird food allergies at our table), the food was outstanding as always, the wine list is excellent. This time I had the Clam Chowder and the warm Lobster Roll...OMG I am salivating just thinking about it! GT Fish & Oyster never disappoints. I have been many times in the past and every single time have left with the same impression.

The food was outstanding but I ranked it lower because one dish, the swordfish, was undercooked. We notified the server and she sent it back. Several staff came by and gave us an appetizer but there was no more communication about the status of the entree. Eventually, we asked to cancel it but there was not one coming anyway. So, that was a bit confusing and although we were not charged, I’m not sure what the deal was with that. I figured they’d cook it or bring another one out. All other items were great, but I felt bad that the issue happened with one member of our party with no explanation.

So we’ve been going to GT Fish and Oyster for a while now, and it’s literally always amazing, tonight was exceptionally amazing - we had the snapper ceviche (the total star of meal), some tuna poke, fish tacos, and branzino- all amazing! Seriously true snapper was beyond amazing... so. GOOD!!

We went couple of days after Thanksgiving and ordered the seafood tower. The crab tasted old and dry -- not certain if it had been frozen or there was simply low turn around during the holiday week but I was very disappointed in the freshness of the seafood.

GT is a family favorite. We come for the fun cocktails that lead into delicious oysters and other fun eats. A very fun night out! We come as a group of 6-8 every year after Thanksgiving and have a blast!

Every thing was delicious, but disappointed that you use canola oil in your dressings & sauces. It changes the taste & is bad for you. Only Non GMO products should be used at an expensive Trendy restaurant like GT.
